This serif shows compact proportions with a steady, moderately modulated stroke and clear, bracketed serifs that often flare as they meet the terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly teardrop-like in places, while verticals stay crisp, giving a controlled, bookish rhythm. The lowercase has a traditional construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” sturdy stems, and compact bowls; the overall texture reads even but not rigid, with subtle shaping at joins and endings. Numerals and capitals maintain the same restrained contrast and firm, classic outlines, producing a cohesive page color in text settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs well for display lines—chapter titles, pull quotes, and magazine headlines—where its sculpted serifs and compact rhythm can deliver a refined, traditional voice.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature, editorial typography, and institutional formality. Its gentle flaring and moderated contrast add a quiet warmth that keeps it from feeling austere, while still projecting authority and polish.
The design appears intended to offer a contemporary take on a traditional serif for text and editorial use, balancing legibility with subtle, flared detailing at stroke endings. It aims for an authoritative but approachable presence that remains consistent from body copy through larger sizes.
Capitals are relatively tall and composed, with clean internal counters and confident horizontals, supporting clear hierarchy in headings. The italic is not shown, and the roman style presented emphasizes legibility through disciplined spacing and consistent serif treatment.
